Sock hoarding is a real thing, folks. We're not just talking about a few stray socks in the laundry basket. No, we're talking about a full-blown phenomenon.
It's estimated that the average person hoards around 10-15 pairs of socks per month. That's 120-180 socks per year. Per person.
And it's not just about the quantity, it's about the quality. Sock hoarders are often picky about their socks. They want them to be soft, they want them to be stretchy, and they want them to match.
But why do we do it? Is it because we're secretly hoping to one day have a sock fort? A place where all our beloved socks can live in harmony, free from the dangers of missing matches and pesky laundry day?
Or is it because we're just really, really bad at folding?
